2 | Plastics Recycling 2015: All about e-plastics


North America's largest plastics recycling conference, taking place next week, will offer some useful knowledge and networking opportunities to e-scrap players.


Plastics Recycling 2015 will offer an exclusive first look at in-depth research on the plastics recovered from scrap electronics. This original data-compiling project investigates where e-plastic discards are being generated and where they’re going once they are processed.


A critical analysis of e-plastics consumption, recovery and recycling will be offered, and it will be accompanied by strategies that firms can employ to overcome e-plastic profitability challenges.


Plastics Recycling 2015 is taking place Feb. 23-25 at the Hyatt Regency in Dallas, Texas. Head to www.plasticsrecycling.com for information on attending.

7 | Industry and supplier news


E-scrap processor 3S International is finding that partnerships with other companies are yielding benefits for all of them, according to a press release. The Michigan-based company, which specializes in processing LCDs on a large scale, has recently partnered with IMS Electronics. "This partnership allows us to provide the best downstream for our clients' LCD and mercury-containing devices," said Linda McFarland of IMS Electronics. "There is a huge benefit to electronics recyclers to open doors for each other." Through partnering with IMS and other firms – such as Kuusakoski Recycling, Sims Recycling Solutions and Valley City Electronic Recycling – companies share resources and collection methods and materials are shipped to the company that can best recycle them, according an accompanying op-ed.


Leaders of the e-Stewards e-scrap environmental standard have launched the e-Stewards Consultant Registry Program. Through the program, consultants pre-approved by e-Stewards can link with firms "who need support in preparing for e-Stewards certification audits, training and other valuable services."
